Yea, they became that way when they were cbers and never managed

Most of them are not interested in technical topics, they just want to operate.
Most Hams are older, anti-social males. They make DX contacts through the
radio, but will not talk to the person next door. You could hear them making
random contacts Fri, Sat night too. Most are interested in boring aspects of
radio such as contesting (making short random contacts over and over again)..
Also, a significant percentage of them are overweight, more than the general
population. Not surprisingly, very few females in Ham radio.
